Workshop overview
An instructor will guide the participants through the process of creating a small bowl. The instructions are simplified from the adult workshops and doesn’t cover things like centering or cylinder pulling.
Making the bowl usually takes about 20 minutes. Once the participant has created a small bowl, we collect it and the participant gets a second ball of clay to freely experience and have fun with for the rest of the workshop. The instructor will be present and help if needed but the second ball is meant as playtime.
The bowl will be ready to paint or pick up after two weeks. Painting is optional, you can take the items home and enjoy them as they are. There is an additional charge of $20.00 for painting the bowl in the studio.
The workshop starts on time, so you must be a few minutes early to get set up. We provide aprons so you don’t need to bring anything.
Eight wheels are available so up to eight kids can participate in this single-session workshop.

What’s included in the class?
Two 300 g balls of clay, each is enough for a small bowl. Up to 45 minutes at the wheel. Use of tools if desired. An apron is provided to protect the clothes but clay washes right out.
This is an experience, and there’s no expectation that the child makes something. If a bowl or similar is made, it is baked at no charge. It can be painted for $20.00 plus tax after baking.
Can adults join the class?
Yes, kids and their adults can join the class. All participants have to be paid for, and each participant gets their own wheel.
During the guided part of the class, the instructor is in charge and we prefer the adults not work with the kids, leave it to the instructor.
We have the option to set up a special class of minimum 4 participants for a family or work group. For a special class we welcome both children and adults. Please call for details.
How do you contact me?
We always call you as soon as the items are ready for pickup or painting. If we don't reach you, we'll attempt to leave a message so make sure to check your messages.
Many people never pick up from unknown numbers, or even block them, the call will come from 905 477 0002.
If it's been more than two weeks and you've not heard from us, give us a call, perhaps the number we have for you is wrong.
How long do I have to pick up the items?
We have limited storage space so once we've baked the items and called you we guarantee they'll be kept for at least 30 days. If you need more time let us know and we can store them for longer.
We will call and attempt to reach you at least twice before the items are disposed.
Unfortunately we do not compensate if the items were disposed.
Can I store unfinished clay projects in the studio?
Sorry, it’s not possible for us to store work-in-progress in the studio. If your project is not finished, we’ll wrap it up in a box and you take it home where you can finish it before bringing it back for firing.
A clay project dries over the course of a day or so under cover, and if left too long it becomes too dry to work on, so it’s best to take it home to do detail carving etc.
